Around Gu Qijue, the first to appear were the logistics troops from the two Star Cluster-level civilizations.

They were the closest to Gu Qijue, so they arrived first.

After the logistics units, the guard units arrived on orders.

These guard units were specifically responsible for protecting the Space Transmission Device, and their strength was formidable.

Normally, they would be the first to encounter any enemy attempting to approach the Space Transmission Device.

However, they did not expect that Gu Qijue, somehow, appeared right beside the Space Transmission Device.

This caught the guards completely off guard.

To everyone, the enemy appeared in the most unlikely place.

Compared to the logistics units comprised mostly of Super Divine-tier Warriors, the strength of the guard units was undoubtedly powerful.

As far as Gu Qijue could see, it was a uniform presence of F-Class Cosmic Warriors.

However, his tactical surprise attack on the Space Transmission Device of the two Star Cluster-level civilizations caught the opponents off guard.

The E-Class Cosmic Warriors deployed on the battlefield were unable to quickly retreat at the moment.

Thus, Gu Qijue's current biggest challenge was merely facing the F-Class Cosmic Warriors.

In the second combat form, Gu Qijue's strength was also at the F-Class Cosmic level.

Unless faced with a significant number of peak F-Class Cosmic powerhouses or encountering E-Class Cosmic powerhouses, he could continue the fight.

If he entered the third or fourth combat form, even ordinary E-Class Cosmic powerhouses could not handle him.

But now that he had become the thorn in the side of the Qiongqi Star Cluster Civilization and the Black Prison Star Cluster Civilization, hiding his strength was evidently necessary.

If the opponents believed his limit was just F-Class, he could deal them a significant blow.

Although most of the E-Class powerhouses from the two Star Cluster-level civilizations were committed to the front battlefield,

a considerable number of E-Class powerhouses were arranged to return as reinforcements in the face of the sudden situation at the rear.

As E-Class Cosmic powerhouses began to appear gradually on the outskirts of the battlefield, Gu Qijue uploaded the deciphered spatial disturbance frequencies to the Star Cluster Combat Department.

Then, a series of powerful space transmission waves began to appear nearby.

On the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster side, a large number of powerhouses and combat troops were clearly poised and ready.

Once the spatial disturbance frequency was accurately parsed, they would enter the battlefield to fight immediately.

"Buzz——"

A series of massive space transmission beams appeared around Gu Qijue.

When this scene unfolded, the Qiongqi Star Cluster and Black Prison Star Cluster realized the tide had turned against them.

For many in the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster, it was a relief for Gu Qijue.

Thanks to the timely arrival of the elite combat units of the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster, he was saved.

Yet, no one realized that the spatial disturbance frequency covering this area was deciphered and uploaded by Gu Qijue.

This time, he had saved himself successfully.

The arrival of the elite combat troops of the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster left no suspense in this war.

The attempt by the Qiongqi Star Cluster to replicate their success at the Bi Fang Battlefield was undoubtedly doomed to failure this time.

A warrior clad in Crimson Mecha soon appeared before Gu Qijue.

"Commander Gu, hello, I am an E-Class Warrior from the Vermilion Bird Mecha Team, codename Cyan Blade."

"Under the orders of His Excellency the Leader, I am here to escort you to the Vermilion Bird Empire Capital."

The Vermilion Bird Mecha Team is the most elite combat unit of the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster.

Each of them is the elite of the elite, the ace among aces.

Despite their small numbers, no one would doubt their combat capabilities.

The Vermilion Bird Mecha Team answers only to the Star Cluster Leader of the Vermilion Bird.

Each member can be considered a special envoy of the Leader.

After Cyan Blade spoke, Gu Qijue nodded slightly and followed Cyan Blade toward a Vermilion Bird-class Battleship.

The Vermilion Bird-class Battleship is the exclusive equipment of the Vermilion Bird Mecha Team, representing the pinnacle of technology for the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster.

The difference between an ordinary battleship and a Vermilion Bird-class Battleship is greater even than that between a second-hand Otto and a Rolls-Royce, and this gap is in every aspect.

Onboard the Vermilion Bird Battleship, there were quite a few people.

Like Cyan Blade, they were encased entirely in Nanomechs.

These people commonly used codenames to refer to and communicate with each other; their true identities were known only to the Star Cluster Leader and a few others.

The Vermilion Bird Battleship slowly started in the cosmic sky and commenced spatial jumping.

After several space transitions, Gu Qijue and Cyan Blade reached the main headquarters of the Vermilion Bird Empire at Vermilion Bird Star.

Afterward, Gu Qijue followed Cyan Blade's group, using the Space Transmission Device to enter the capital of the Vermilion Bird Empire.

This was a city built in the sky, constructed entirely of very special materials.

Not only was it sturdy, with tremendous defensive power, but it was also aesthetically pleasing.

With the escort of the Vermilion Bird Mecha Team, Gu Qijue easily entered the Imperial Palace of the Vermilion Bird Empire.

The Leader of the Vermilion Bird Empire, who was also the Star Cluster Leader of the Vermilion Bird, Salisbury, along with high-ranking officials of the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster, received Gu Qijue in the Vermilion Bird Hall.

At this moment in the Vermilion Bird Hall, the female Leader of the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster, five Vice Leaders, and over twenty cabinet officials were all present.

Gu Qijue had previously had video calls with Salisbury Leader.

But this was his first meeting with the Star Cluster Leader in person.

The Vermilion Bird Star System included numerous Star System-level civilizations.

However, most leaders of the Star System-level civilizations had not been received individually by the Star Cluster Leader.

This time, Gu Qijue had made a great contribution to the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster.

Not only was he received by the Leader, but all the high-ranking officials of the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster were present.

Upon entering the Vermilion Bird Hall, Salisbury's unique clear, cold voice began to echo in the hall.

"Commander Gu Qijue, during the invasion of the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster by the Qiongqi Star Cluster and the Black Prison Star Cluster, you made a significant contribution to the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster."

"You reported the enemy situation promptly, allowing the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster's Combat Department to deploy immediately and intercept the invaders."

"Then you managed to enter the blockade area of the two Star Cluster-level civilizations and destroy their Space Transmission Device."

"For this defensive war of the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster, the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster will award you a special merit."

"Henceforth, you will become a Viscount of the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster, possessing the best Resource Star and armed forces of the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster."

Like most Star Clusters, the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster has five noble ranks: Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, and Baron.

This time, Gu Qijue skipped the Baron rank and was directly conferred with the title of Viscount, which was indeed a grand reward.

The titles in the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster are very valuable and are not granted without significant contributions.

Many real-power figures in the Star Cluster have not obtained a title.
